GEN. BADEAU CoNTRADICTED.-The state
ment of Gen. Adam Badeau, published il a
New York paper, to the effect that Gen.
Robert E. Lee and his family, upon the for
mer's return to Richmond after the surrend-
er of the Confederate army at Appomattox,
were fed for time by the Federal army
commissary, has attracted considerable at
ten,ion. Governor Lee, after carefully
reading General Badeau'5 statement. said /:
ut is all wrong. Gen. Bsdeau has been
drawing largely upon his imagination or
the Imagination of somebody else. When
Gen. Lee returned from Appomattox Court
House he found his family living in Rich
mond in the house in which he had left
them. While not living in atfluence, they
were not lacking in the necessaries of life.
Shortly after his return the people of Rich
mond and elsewhere We'd with each other
in sending to Gen. Lee everything requisite
for the comfort of himself and family, pre-
Stunning that having been in the field, he was
not able to provide for them as comfortably
as he would like. Indeed" continued the
Governor, "it was known that the upper
passages of Gen. Lees house were filled
with barrels of -four meat and other things
that had been sent because there was no
other place to put them. Gen. Lee directed
his servants to distribute these things to the
poor in his neighborhood."

THE NUMBER of Virginia ex Confederates
who lost arms, legs and eyes must, in the
nature of things, have been greater in 1866
than in 1856; aud yet while the State ex'
pended $50 900 for them in the year imme
diately succeeding the close Of the war, in
the same period, twenty years after, when,
unless they be immortals, some of them
must have died, it expended $4,000, or
more than four times as much. No right
thinking Virgnian ohiec;s to any necessary
expense for he comfort of the men of his
State who were disabled while defending her
institutions and her territory, but the fact
that that expense increases as the number
of the benefcaries decreases, is so remarka-
bic that it necessarily occasions no little
adverse comment.

Bad for City Drug Stores.

SLOW are the druggists affected by the IL
quor law passed by the last legislaturc?' is the
question frequently asked. AS nearly as can
be learned they are placed in the same category
with all places where Intoxicating liquor is
sold and druggist cannot lawfully sell. and is
subject to fine and Imprisonment if he sells,
even a small quantity of intoxicating liquor of
any kind, including alcohol, uncompounded,
whether as medicine or physicians pre-
scription. Recently Mr.. Frank r. Partridge,
the proprietor of the Fuller drug store, wrote
to the Office of Internal Revenue, Treasury
Department, Washington, ID. c. and in reply
received the following from Hon. Jos. s. Mil
Ter, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which
explains itself: "Yours of the 18th instant re-
ceived, in which you ask, Us registered phar-
macist: "Have l the legal right to fill pre-
scription, il honestly prescribed, by reputa-
BILE physician, calling for eight ounces of brandy

says: ''The payment of the United States

that intoxicating liquors are there sold, kept
or given away unlawfully, shall be held to

Fish and Fishing.

In response to Il request of Fish Commissioner
StiWcll, Prof. Baird Will send l,0OOOOO shad fry
to the kcnnebec river, and also promises some
large carp for the fountain at the Capitol next
summer Application has also been made for
l,0O0,OOO shad fry for the Penobscot river at Ban
gor.
Under the fish laws passed by the late Legisla
ture black bass may be caught in any waters which
have been stocked with these fish for a period of
five years QuantcbacOOk falls in the list of such
waters Fishermen will govern themselves accord
ingly and prepare for sport two months earlier
than usual
The report OF the commissioner of navigation
for 1856 devOtes considerable space to fisheries
statistics which show that the number of vessels
engaged in cod and mackerel fisheries decreased
from 2249 in 1883 to ,39 in 1886, and the number
of whaling vessels from l4l to lO4 in the same
period. The total tonnage of fishing vessels which
was l27,452 in 1883 was only los, ,s43 in 1886.
The work of replenishing the waters of the coast
with fish, as undertaken by the Fish Commission,
will be watched with great interest. 1t has just
turned loose 35,OOO,0OO young cOd and it now pro-
poses to experiment with halibut. The supply of
this valuable food fish had been depleted in waters
where twas once plentiful, and If the Commission
succeeds in restoring the supply it will score
notable success. The Fish Commission is also do
ing good work In providing better style of fish
ing craft 1t is hoped in this way save the lives
of many fishermen, not less than 100 of whom are
annually lost from the port Of Gloucester alone.

from others on the same subject. In the year 1910,

very jolly time while building it, and Capt.
Young bar was well patronixcd. The cabin was
finished the third day of July, much to the disgust
of the Democrats, who had openly threatened to
destroy it. That night watch was kept and sure
enough four men came to fulfill their threats.
They were seen in season to thwart their designs

they escaped. The pursuers had Il long stage
whip, and if the woudbe dcstroyers had been
caught they would have been severely punished.
Early the next day, "the Fourth" the people
began to gather for its christening. Four horses
were attached to the cabin and Cyrus Davis, the

ought to be ready for it. What the fathers did Is
not enough. The thing has grown on our hands,

now come not to stay Il week, but six weeks or
ten. They have nothing to do but to boat and
bathe and swing in hammocks, etc, or visit the

planted just outside. The persons who come. with
some exceptions, are from many of our best fam

association somebody, should provide for their

them from the ''roaring lion,' and will elevate
and improve. Hold the camp meeting week to its
present line of revival work, if that is best, but
be assured that unless something more is done
during the weeks which prcccde the meeting,
